Rotek - Kremant (Ratitovec)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving in the direction of Železniki and Tolmin. A few kilometers after Zalim Log we arrive at a crossroad at Podrošt, where we continue straight in the direction of Sorica and Soriška planina (left Petrovo Brdo and Tolmin). When above Sorica the road from Petrovo Brdo joins from the left, we continue right, and then towards Soriška planina we drive only to a crossroad, where roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the right. We park in a suitable place by the road. Lately, because of reconstruction of the road Podrošt - Sorica, the road is often closed. In this case, we use a detour, namely so that at Podrošt we continue in the direction of Tolmin, and then at the first crossroad right. On a quite steep road we arrive in Sorica, where we join back the main road towards Soriška planina.
B) From the direction of Baška grapa we drive to Petrovo Brdo, and from there we continue left towards Soriška planina. A little after we join the road from Sorica, we arrive at a crossroad, where roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the right. We park in a suitable place by the road.
C) From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue driving towards Soriška planina, and from there we start descending towards Sorica. When after a few kilometers of descent roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the left, we park in a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road in the direction of Zgornje Danje and Ratitovec, from which at first a view opens up towards the church of St. Marko in Spodnje Danje; after crossing the power line the road passes into the forest, through which it ascends diagonally. After a few minutes from the road a wide cart track branches off slightly to the left, on which the path to Erbelc leads; we continue on the road, which continues to ascend gently towards the right. A little further an unmarked cart track from Spodnje Danje joins from the right (here another cart track to Erbelc branches off to the left), the road then gradually passes out of the forest onto more panoramic slopes. Next follows a turn to the left and with views on the cliffs of Ratitovec we reach a smaller crossroad right before Zgornje Danje. We continue on the left upper road, which after some 10 m changes into a rocky cart track, which we follow only to the nearby wooden shack, where on the left side we will notice the beginning of the marked path which leads to Ratitovec.
The path first ascends through the forest, then crosses a relatively new clearing, where we also cross a cart track. At this spot because of fallen trees there are no marks, so orientation on this part is somewhat harder, but if we find the footpath which continues in the same direction, we have no bigger problems. The path ahead returns into the forest for some time, then flattens and brings us to a larger meadow (mountain pasture Spodnji Jirn). On the other side of the meadow, at the watering place for animals the path turns slightly to the left and then right into the forest. The path ahead brings us onto a rough cart track, on which we walk only for a short time, since then poorly visible signs direct us left onto the mountain path, through which we follow through the forest to a relatively new wooden log cabin.
From the log cabin, where we also step out of the forest, we continue in the same direction and continue the ascent on a poorly visible path, which ascends diagonally slightly towards the right. The increasingly scenic path, from which beautiful views open up on Blegoš, Črni vrh and Porezen, brings us higher to an old military bunker, where we can rest or make a nice panoramic photo. From the bunker we continue a few more minutes on a poorly beaten path, then join the path Soriška planina - Krekova koča.
Here we continue in the direction of Soriška planina (right Altemaver and Krekova koča). The path ahead first ascends moderately, then gradually starts descending and turning to the left. After a short descent the path starts ascending again, then in less than 5 minutes of further walking brings us to Kremant.
Rotek - Zgornje Danje 45 minutes, Zgornje Danje - Kremant 1:45.
